I will never have to go out for a hot fudge sundae again! Better than I could have imagined. I didn't add the vanilla, but did add a pinch of salt. I cut the recipe in half and had enough to fill a pint mason jar. I don't own a blender, so I used my immersion stick in the pan I cooked it in. It was smooth and thick, perfect texture!

Just made this and even though I loved it - I only gave it four stars because of slight changes. After reading reviews I added a pinch of salt, 1 oz. unsweetened chocolate, and less sugar (I used 2-1/4 c.). Because my blender recently broke, I whisked during cooking as another reviewer stated -perfect texture! Also, not sure it actually boiled the entire 7 minutes, but I didn't want it to burn! Use EVAPORATED milk and it won't taste like caramel! YUM!

Reviewer:

Loved it! Easy. Made this last night and I even altered it to make it dairy free using coconut milk and substituted raw sugar.
I did only use 2 cups of sugar but did not change anything else, it was perfect consistency and today I checked to see how the consistency was and it is even better, beautiful, smooth and delicious!

Reviewer:

Great sauce! I won't be changing anything. I thought the blender was overkill at first but not now. The recipe turned out ok, but nothing special until I put it through the blender. So silky smooth and chocolatey.

Reviewer:

I usually follow a recipe exactly at least once before I make any alterations, but btertin's scientific analysis impressed me so much that I followed his instructions and used 2 cups of sugar instead of 3, and only 1 and 1/3 sticks of butter. The sauce came out GREAT. Once it spent the night in the fridge and then was reheated, it was the perfect hot fudge consistency. I'll definitely be making this again.

Reviewer:

Excellent sauce. I might cut out one cup of sugar the next time. I added two large handfulls of chocolate chips which added to the sweetness so less sugar would have worked better. I did blend it well and it turned out smooth like silk. It makes a fair bit so refridgerate the leftovers. I reheated mine in the microwave and it turned out just like it did when fresh. My husband, who rarely eats ice cream, loaded up a bowl once he tasted this sauce.

Normally wouldn't rate five star if I made modifications but this recipe is THAT GOOD and should not be missed. Sue's Hot Fudge is FIVE STAR HOT FUDGE if modified per other reviewers: Cut sugar to 2c. Add a handful of semi-sweet chocolate (Ghiradelli or Nestle Chips). Literally EVERYONE who we served this to raved about the fudge and asked for the recipe - the ultimate compliment if you ask me! This fudge, and a spoon, could solve world peace. :)
